  1. How did everyone do this semester?

    amymina replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Looks like everyone was doing awesome this semester! I ended up with a C+ in theory and a B in clinical, but considering 75 is failing, and a 97 is an A in our school, I am proud of my C+. Getting...

  3. Ok... I'm going to ask a dumb question....

    amymina replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Students

    I am a second semester RN student and just completed a med/surg rotation. When we had down time, which wasn't often, we were to help answer call lights as well. Before ambulating with any patient,...

  4. LPN or RN?

    amymina replied to Prairie's topic in General Nursing

    If you have the time and ability, I would go right for the RN degree. I am currently an RN student in a 2 year program, and we have some LPNs that are in our classes, and a bunch were just laid off...

  5. period during pregnancy?

    amymina replied to Ms.RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    During my pregnancies I didn't have it, but I had a friend that did every month and didn't know she was pregnant till she was five months along with her first child. It can happen, but isn't the...

  6. Worried about failing clinical

    amymina posted a topic in General Students

    I missed two days of clinical this semester, and it is my first semester. Didn't want to, but was sick with gastrointestinal problems a month ago, and had a nasty case of the flu this past week that...

  7. Worried about failing clinical

    amymina replied to amymina's topic in General Students

    The school didn't want me to make up the first one, they gave me an assignment to complete on the computer and said that making it up in the actual clinical setting wasn't going to work at that time....

  8. Help with a care plan

    amymina posted a topic in General Students

    I am working on a care plan for a patient, and have to come up with anywhere from 6 to 8 diagnoses, and work up the top 2 plus whatever other one that I want. I believe that the priority for the...

  9. Help with a care plan

    amymina replied to amymina's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much for your help guys. I appreciate it greatly. Unfortunantely, my instructors are sticklers on the no medical diagnoses rule and will mark you off if you use them so I am trying to...

  10. Study supplements ...Please answer ASAP

    amymina replied to jayjo's topic in General Students

    I took A&P and got the A, but didn't use much else besides the coloring book and my notes and textbook. I found the best help was making a friend and we used each other as study partners. I was...

  11. HELP ME!! I dont know if Nursing is for me

    amymina replied to missSAMMY's topic in General Students

    Having kids is definitely hard, but it is also hard having to support yourself while going to nursing school. As HiddenDat said, you go in there with a good attitude and you are more likely to...

  12. HELP ME!! I dont know if Nursing is for me

    amymina replied to missSAMMY's topic in General Students

    Hiddencat had alot of great advice. I took all my prerequites (A&P 1 and 2, Micro, Psych, etc) before starting my nursing classes because I have 3 children that were from the ages of 4 months to 7...

  13. Where is there no wait to go to school?

    amymina replied to lucasdudley's topic in General Students

    Try Niagara Community College or Erie Community College around Buffalo, NY. Last I heard there was no wait list for either one - it is mainly based on your grades. If your grades aren't the best,...

  14. only in nursing school

    amymina replied to fiveofpeep's topic in General Students

    Isn't that the truth! Only in nursing school is it considered accepted to to have 200+ students failing Nursing 3 out of about 250 and say that it is the students and not the curriculum or the...

  15. Does this make sense to anyone out here?

    amymina replied to MsLEE2121's topic in General Students

    If you received your LPN, would you need to go out and work after school? I know being in the workplace would give you more experience, but it will be harder if you have to complete school while...

  16. Help me please!!

    amymina replied to thongvo89's topic in General Students

    It is getting harder to get into nursing programs, and for some reason it seems to be harder on the west coast. There is a girl in my nursing class that moved here (around Buffalo, NY) just to get...

  17. New to the world of Nursing, help please?

    amymina replied to FutureOBNurse2118's topic in General Students

    I just started the program this past September, and found that getting a few things done during the summer helped out - and they may help you too. The first thing I did was get comfortable with my...

    amymina replied to ohmylove's topic in General Students

    I am a new nursing student, and have only had two tests, but the way that I studied for the tests was to not only review the info and read as much as I could ahead of time, I also got a Nclex review...

  19. First nursing test

    amymina posted a topic in General Students

    I am going to the first nursing test for my fundamental class on Thursday and am a nervous wreck already. I have been told that the questions will be similar to that of the Nclex. I have been...

  21. Nursing school anxiety

    amymina replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    You are not the only one that gets extremely nervous. I had a friend who started nursing school last year and she was constantly "sick", I don't know if she ever threw up but I know there were time...

  22. Help...Online classes

    amymina replied to deviousI's topic in General Students

    I know online classes are different than the traditional class setting, I have taken multiple myself, but not on the ones that you have mentioned. Something you need to remember is that even though...

    amymina replied to aidansmommy1014's topic in General Students

    I took the NET test back in May and used a Net review guide to study for it. Math wasn't my problem, it was the english section, and I passed the first time. I would recommend getting your hands on...
